LWHS Robotics: Code Purple 5827 — Robotics

My son, who is 9, has been attending the LWHS Robotics: Code Purple 5827 program in Seattle for a few weeks now, and overall, it's been a solid experience. He’s been excited about building and programming a small robot, which he proudly named 'Robo-Buddy.' I appreciate how engaged the staff members are; they really encourage the kids to think critically and creatively. The group size is also small, which gives my son more hands-on time with the materials. On the downside, the drop-off process has been a bit chaotic. The parking lot can get crowded, making it stressful to get him settled before heading off to work. However, once inside, he really enjoys the collaborative environment, and I've seen him make friends already. If your child is focused and enjoys STEM activities, this program could be a great fit, just be prepared for a busy drop-off.

My son recently participated in the LWHS Robotics: Code Purple 5827 program in Seattle, and he had a solid experience overall. The weekly sessions allowed him to build a small robot that could navigate an obstacle course, which he found very exciting. The instructor, Jake, was particularly engaging and took the time to ensure each child understood the concepts behind programming their robots. I appreciated the small group size, which made for more hands-on attention. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic, with long lines forming at the end of each session. It wasn't a huge deal for us, but it can be frustrating when you're trying to get home after a long day. My son is quite active and really enjoyed the teamwork aspect of the projects, making a couple of friends along the way. Overall, I would recommend this program with a heads-up about the pickup situation.
